    AdwareSpy

    Hi, I did a search though could not find anything specifically about this program. Ran a demo scan and it turned up 490 items. Now this machine has Adaware, Spybot, Spwareguard and Spywareblaster, all up to date definitions as well as AVG. Usually adaware and spybot report nothing. Most of what turned up were HKLM active X compatibility reg entries. My concern is that this program gives false readings since to fix these problems you have to purchase the registered version. Anyone know anything about this one?

    jenae, I'd stay away from it as it looks like a ripoff. Check the link below.

    Hi, thanks that link confirms my suspicions, I was given a registered version however I had not registered it. There are a lot of try hards out there, the Doctor comes through again. Thanks Tufenuf.

    Hi jenae, that one is listed as bogus here, with lots of false positives:
